"The air here... Is very different." Were Soifon's first words while looking around the familiar yet strange world.
"It's actually quite similar to Hell... I an Special Region." One of the female Shinigami with an eyepatch and dark pink hair walked up to Yoruichi, "That gait and skin tone... Are you Shihouin?"
Yoruichi was a bit taken aback when she suddenly approached with judging eyes but she still answered, "Yes... I'm Shihouin Yoruichi. And you are?"
"Oh~ So I was right!" The Shinigami started laughing and patting Yoruichi's shoulders, "I'm Saito Furoufushi. I am a good friend of your great great great... great... I don't really know how many greats, granduncle~!"
For a mont, Yoruichi thought that her na was a bit familiar but when she thought about it deeply, a certain person that she only knew from history books appeared in her head, "Could it be that you're 'Saito Furoufushi'? One of the founding mbers of the Gotei 13?"
"That's true, but that's not really important right now." Furoufushi then looked around and asked, "Where's Urahara?"
"He's a bit busy with sothing. For now, let's head sowhere comfortable. I'll introduce you guys to our organization." Yoruichi then turned to dusa and said, "I'll leave them to you. I need to close the gate."
"Even in this world, he's busy? Must be tough being him." Furoufushi muttered loudly.
dusa nodded at Yoruichi and turned towards the group, "This way, please. We've prepared your lodging."
dusa's eyes, being sealed and not affecting any of them, unnerved everyone except for Tenjirou who already got used to it, "Follow the girl." Tenjirou told everyone, "I need to talk to Shihouin about sothing first."
Yoruichi waved her hand goodbye to the group as they left the place. As soon as they were gone, Yoruichi started resealing the gate and this needed to be done to control the movent of certain individuals.
"I received word that the lady you brought to the other side has started cooperating." Tenjirou softly muttered.
"No wonder Soifon was able to co to this side. What is she asking in return?"
"I'm not sure since I was not explicitly told, but I heard she demanded a few things from Aizen."
Yoruichi smiled wryly, "A fearless one, eh?"
"Ignorant is more accurate."
"Well, regardless of what it is, I just hope that her demands don't create conflict between us."
"Kyouraku is not saying anything so you guys don't really have to worry about it."
"That only ans that her request doesn't have anything to do with us. It's going to be a pain in the ass if Aizen ends up helping our targets."
Tenjirou was stunned for a bit, "I was surprised that that's only a pain in the ass. If any other person said that, I'd laugh in their face."
Yoruichi finished closing the gate and began walking away from it, "Whether he likes it or not, he has already given Kisuke years of prep ti to deal with him. I doubt he's willing to open the box of surprises prepared for him specifically."
Tenjirou called for his two assistants to delegate tasks regarding the ryokan, but due to the upcoming summit, there's hardly anyone using the hot springs.
Yoruichi went straight towards the assigned building for their guests from the Soul Society. But when she arrived, dusa was nowhere to be found and their guests were left drinking tea in the lounge area, "Where's dusa?"
"If you an that lady with long purple hair and strangely distracting eyes, she went ahead saying that there's an ergency call for her." Shinji answered while completely making himself at ho, "Did we co at a bad ti?"
Yoruichi shook her head, "No, not really. It's just that a big event is coming up so the others are busy preparing shelters."
"...It sounded like we ca at a bad ti." Lisa comnted while adding, "It's good to see you alive, Yoruichi. I heard that you ca over the other side but when I tried looking for you, you already left."
Yoruichi poured herself so tea too and sat down to relax, "What can I say? Too many things need to be done and I asked for reinforcents because it might turn ugly. I won't be asking you guys to move out, but if it turns out to be too much for us to deal with, I'd like you guys to give a helping hand. Of course, you will be properly compensated."
Ouetsu excitedly raised his hand, "I'd like to build a workshop on this side too!"
"I'd also like to ask for the sa thing." Senjumara followed suit.
Yoruichi was surprised for a bit but soon turned her head towards the last mber of the Zero Division, Kirio, "What about you, Hikifune?"
Hikifune was grateful that Yoruichi asked her but she could only shake her head, "I'm only here because everyone insisted that I co too. I've already lost all my abilities and am no different from a normal person. I'm already thankful that you're giving a roof over my head."
Yoruichi already heard from Kisuke what happened to Kirio, "I've never thought I'd see you incredibly pessimistic like this. Far cry from how you were in the past."
It wasn't just Kirio who had a solemn expression but also Ouetsu and Senjumaru.
"Don't lose hope now. You'll sooner or later return to how you were previously." Yoruichi continued.
Nonetheless, she only got a wry smile from her, "I know myself best. This is different from Kurosaki Ichigo exhausting his Spiritual Power. I still possess so form of Spiritual Pressure that's on the level of a normal Shinigami, yet I have no way to move it."
"That doesn't matter." Yoruichi imdiately refuted, "You and I know him the best. Kisuke won't be discouraged by sothing 'impossible' and he has proven that ti and ti again."
The wry smile on Kirio's face didn't disappear but she didn't say anything else.
"In other words, we're only able to take action when sothing bad happens?" Furoufushi imdiately changed the topic, not allowing the room to devolve into an awkward silence, "And here I was hoping to go around."
"Go around..." Yoruichi muttered and thought of sothing, "How about going to Serafall's side? I think she'll appreciate your company. You know Serafall, right?"
Furoufushi's eyes instantly shined, "That's it! Katori is coming with !"
The other 'unknown' female Shinigami, Batsu'unsai Katori, sighed but didn't disagree. She'd rather et Tanis and ask her a few things regarding Ki.
